AI Summary
The City of Council Bluffs seeks proposals for redevelopment of a 2.22-acre parcel for a two-family attached housing project of 22-24 units in the Lake Manawa Neighborhood. The RFP is open until all lots are sold, with a tentative close date of January 29, 2026.
The City of Council Bluffs is inviting proposals for the purchase and development of an approximate 2.22 acre parcel of land in the Lake Manawa Neighborhood. The property, located at the southeast corner of Mohawk Street and Comanche Street, is intended for the development of a two-family attached housing project consisting of approximately 22-24 units. This opportunity is being managed by the city's Community Development Department, which is seeking developers interested in contributing to the area's residential growth. It is the intention of the City to keep this RFP open until all lots are sold. Therefore, it is not required for a bidder to bid on all 22-24 lots. Additionally, since this is an open RFP, this means the City will be able to view responses as they are submitted in IonWave. The RFP is set to tentatively close on January 29, 2026. However, if qualified bid(s) are submitted prior to that date, the RFP may close earlier. Conversely, if not all lots are bid on by said date, the RFP close date may be extended. To align with the city's vision, the development should focus on creating a two-family residential environment. This area should feature low-density housing, residential attached units, establishing a westerly boundary within the overall 93 acre site that complements future phases of the development. The site it part of land that has been designated as the east Manawa Drive Residential Urban Renewal Area and has been prioritized for economic and housing development. --- Q&A --- Q1: Do you have clearer documents of the site, specifically page 19 and 21 that you can upload separately so we can see the lot sizes clearly? A1: Please email DRedmond@councilbluffs-ia.gov for documents. Submitted: 7/31/2025 01:50:13 PM (CT) Q2: Can we get a copy of the last bid tab And the current contractor A2: No one bid on the last RFP, so there is not a bid tab or current contractor for this phase of the E. Manawa Development. Submitted: 7/29/2025 10:02:33 AM (CT)
